Larger-than-life funnyman

HE'S inhabited a succession of wacky characters and outrageous personas over a 25-year movie and television career but lately, funnyman Rob Schneider - you may know him as Deuce Bigalow, The Hot Chick, the Sensitive Naked Man or maybe even Orgasm Guy - has been tickling live audiences and tackling the comedy world with perhaps his most shocking creation ever: himself.

Or an approximation of the real Rob Schneider anyway - one that has a stash of typically irreverent, sometimes offensive but always humorous observations on topical issues and life in general up his long sleeves.

Schneider has devoted the past four years to relentlessly honing his stand-up skills and will bring his act to Singapore tomorrow when he performs at The Star Theatre.
